"Brilliant #2", Peranakan Baba Nyonya Straits Chinese Kamcheng Porcelain, Green

2019

About the Item

Tony lived with his grandmother when he was a child. He has seen many Peranakan tableware at her house. Although the artist is not the descendent of Peranakan, he is deeply influenced by multicultural environment in his growth background. Peranakan is not just one symbol of diverse cultures in Malaysia, but is more about an emotional connection between grandmother and him. This is a painting of a Kamcheng sitting on a batik. The edges of the painting has gold plates finishing. Kamcheng refers to the elaborately-decorated, traditional Peranakan storage vase and also means friendship, the theme for this year's Peranakan Festival. The Peranakans or Peranakan Chinese are a sub-ethnic group defined by their genealogical descent from the first waves of Chinese settlers in the Malay Peninsula and Indonesian Archipelago. In Malaysia, the Peranakan Chinese commonly refer to themselves as Baba-Nonya. The term Baba 峇峇 is an honorific for Straits Chinese men. Female Straits-Chinese descendants were either called or styled themselves Nyonyas 娘惹. Ship in tube This item will arrive rolled in a dent-resistant tube. This method is especially safe for oversized works, and provides lower shipping costs as well.
